“We are incredibly pleased by this generous grant,” said Lyn Walsh, CEO of the Parker County-based Careity. “Thanks to PCHF and the warmhearted luncheon audience, these dollars provide expansive, critical state-of-the-art early detection, treatment, surgery and vital support services to numerous under-insured Parker County residents.”

PCHF and Careity have formed a powerful collaboration according to PCHF board member Zan Prince.

“Careity facilitates the services provided by Pink Luncheon dollars,” Prince said. “It’s a perfect fit. The Pink Luncheon provides dollars for comprehensive breast care services, while Careity guides patients through the entire process. We are very blessed to have Careity as a partner.”

“At the heart of the services provided is Careity,” Markum said. “For many years, they have put the Pink Luncheon dollars to work here at home in Parker County. “

Longtime leaders in breast health care in North Texas, Careity co-founders Lyn Walsh and Beverly Branch have dedicated their time, effort and resources to providing early cancer detection, surgeries, treatment, clinical trials and crucial and life-saving support services for uninsured and underinsured residents of Parker County.

“Our guidelines are more lenient than most other organizations,” Branch said. “We also address women who may fall through the cracks because they earn a few dollars too much.”
